David Foster Wallace wrote a novella-length review of this book called:

"Authority and American Usage"

published in his book `Consider the Lobster`. It is probably the most brilliant book review of any book I've ever read, and a great tribute to this book and its significance.

DFW also published a brilliant novella-length review of GMAU entitled "Tense Present" in Harper's Magazine (April 2001) - they may be one and the same. Anyway: Genius. Fantastic article, fantastic Garner.
